  • Humming birds from Costa Rica

    I finally edited some of my bird photos from the Costa Rica trip last November.

    The Snowcap is only about 50mm long, quick as a flash in the dense shrubbery making it very difficult to photograph.

    The Black Crested Coquette male has black plumes rising out of it's head, very spectacular but unfortunately the didn't show up.

    There are about 55 species of humming birds and some have very long straight beaks while others have curved beaks. Depends on the types of flowers they feed on so whats good for one species isn't necessarily good for the other, depends whether they can reach the nectar.

    Nice captures Wombat.
    My only cc would be that the background of #1 and #4 don't provide the contrast against the birds that would really make them pop. #1 probably due to the shadow on the bird against the dark background.

      Amazing little birds. I like #4 best but think the bird is a little light.
      Better a full bottle in front of me
      than a full frontal lobotomy.

        I think you did well with what was available to you wombat. They are really colourful little birds. Good work.
